What do you wish you were better at?

I LOVE music and dancing. I'm not so good though. In my mind I'm totally a rock star! I dance the day away at home, Kaitlyn even loves to dance. We have so much fun. The music is always on (I've discovered I love the party station on the digital cable- always fun!) and I bee bop around the house cooking, cleaning ... whatever. My skill level is such that I dance minimally in public, and only after a couple of drinks. I wish that I were a better dancer so that I wouldn't be embarrassed to do it in public, because I really do enjoy it.

Re: What do you wish you were better at?

  • Style.  I am totally out of "What Not to Wear" and I know it.  I just don't have that gene of what to put together with what, and how to accessorize.  One of my favorite things is when my cousin comes over and sets out oufits so that I know what to wear.  I know - I am a dork.
  • Managing money. For the most part DH manages the bills, I just fork over a chunk of my paycheck to take care of things. I don't want to discredit him for taking care of business, but I feel like if I were more knowledgeable about finances we could be saving a hell of a lot more.

     

     

  • fashion....I dress for comfort not for style!
  • I wish I was better at organizing - I love when things are so nicely organized like Martha Stuart does, but even if I organize something nicely, it doesn't stay that way for long.

    I also wish I was one of those spotless cleaning type of person...but eh, I can't be bothered with dusting every day, I'd rather spend time with my son.

    I wish I was better with quick and witty comebacks...instead I think of them like an hour later - doh! 

    I wish I was better at telling people off. But I always take the "high road" on those types of situations - especially when the person is a bully.

    I wish I was better at judging people from the get-go. (i.e. most of my best friends I didn't like when first meeting them and now they are excellent friends - or vice versa)

  • Can I answer all of the above?  I'm reading ALL of these and going....yup, yup!
  • Dancing and singing definately!  If I had a choice I'd rather be a dancer than a singer!  I'm so envious of people who can dance so well, like the people on SYTYCD!

    I wish I was better at being more open and not being so shy around new people.  I wish I could just be myself from the get-go..instead of holding back.  I'm working on it = ) 

    I wish I was better at making friends.  I  just don't make them easily.  So.. I guess this goes with #2. 

    I wish I was funny = ) 

    And fashion ofcourse!  I love Stacey London's style..  but somehow I can never put stuff together like that!!  = )

  • I wish I was a better bargain shopper!!  And I wish I was better at managing money and saying NO!
